Infinite dimensional symmetry of corner transfer matrices
arXiv:hep-th/9312141
Abstract
We review some of the recent developments in two dimensional statistical mechanics in which corner transfer matrices provide the vital link between the physical system and the representation theory of quantum affine algebras. This opens many new possibilities, because the eigenstates may be described using the properties of q-vertex operators.
